And probably last! Safe to say users shouldn't be able to create threads in the news section! p.s. This was mostly a test to see if it would work, and it worked p.s.s. Don't kill me

One of the greatest things invented in recent times

I just went from a Radeon HD 4830 to a GeForce GTX 960 , feels great. 4 to 7 times faster in all benchmarks. What was your biggest leap?

Are these right? PC2-5300R (Registered) PC2-5300F (Fully Buffered) PC2-5300U (Unbuffered) PC2-5300S (Small Outline) What others are there? nevermind, Wikipedia entry had it covered: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR2_SDRAM#Chips_and_modules

Bought some ram from a seller in Canada, he shipped it and I received it about a week and a half later. This is the state it came in. The seller was cooperative and a full refund is "Pending" through to my Paypal. My question is, since this ram is completely trashed, am I obligated to even...

Just letting you all know you don't really need Flash anymore for general use. The HTML5 player in YouTube covers most videos now. I been running an XP box without Flash (for added security) for a while now and have not missed it. Still need it for Hulu, but I don't use that. YMMV. *edit...

Relevant thread: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1040963532 Looking to update this old core 2 duo rig I have to a quad. Not looking to spend much.

I just rebuilt an older PC a relative was gonna throw away. It was one of those "here take it, it's old and slow" machines. They were dead set on getting a new machine anyways. Here's it's factory specs: Dell E520: Pentium 4 (775 Prescott) 1GB DDR2 533 250GB HD Integrated Graphics 305W...

Tower coolers blocking ram slots Giant useless heatspreaders on ram that do nothing but assist in blockage GPU's blocking nearby PCIe slots It's dumb IMO. Bring back decent single slot GPU's and a cooler that actually blows on the VRMs, that would be useful. Also, my ram doesn't need...

Is it going to sound like a jet engine? I'm willing to go AMD and WANT to go AMD but not if I'm forced to upgrade the stock heatsink just so the system is quiet. I've talked myself around all their other minuses (tdp, ipc, etc) since their prices are so good, but having to spend more on a 3rd...

Anyone still play this? No one ever talks about it, and no one ever really streams it on Twitch anymore. It seems like a good game which is why I find it mysterious everyone pretends it doesn't exist. Why is this? Maybe I just discovered it too late? The gameplay seems good.

Any modern Catalyst Control Center alternatives for Windows 8? I remember ATI Tray Tools, and it worked quite well in XP, but I haven't kept up on modern alternatives. Any ideas?

Jesus, they weren't kidding when they call them unmanaged, I was hoping i'd get some stuff to configure, maybe a web interface or atleast SSH or something I could log into to set things, but nope. It was free so I guess I can't complain, but this thing doesn't really teach me much. Stupid...

What type of network configuration is this? I connected to a public wifi recently and was curious on how it was configured. After acquiring my IP, the netmask was set to 255.0.0.0 and I was given an IP with 10.x.x.x, with x being anywhere from 0-254. So for example I had 10.178.54.12. The...

I've got an Xclio 500W Goodpower power supply that only has the 4 pin ATX12v connector. The newer boards out these days are using an 8 pin ATX12v connector to feed CPUs with. Anyone have any experience using the 4 pin to 8 pin adapters? It just doesn't feel right, but I've been juggling the...

Any potential issues to speak of?

The person wants to "game", ie Sims, L4D2, type stuff, and wants to browse facebook. Her budget is $300. I check Newegg and feel like I'm buying a Jet for someone who's going to use it to go to the grocery store. What the hell is she gonna do with 8 gigs of ram and a hex core for example and a...

So with everyone behind firewalls these days that autoblock unsolicited requests, I was kinda curious what actually is going on if you 'expose' a system to the net. These are the results. I made this little script which binds netcat to a port, and when someone connects, it sends them a...

Was running since 2008. No AV or anything. Fast as the first day it was installed. What killed it? A virus? Nope. Power outage? Nope. HD failure? Nope. Windows 8 killed it. Since I hadn't booted into Windows 8 in a while, I decided to load it up since 8.1 is so close. Logged in...

Tomorrow on May 14 the Diablo 2 ladder will reset. If anyone hasn't played D2 before, or is disappointed with D3 or just wants to play the classic another time on even ground with everyone else then hurry up and install! Everyone starts at level 1 with no items, it's a race to 99 and to find...

What's stopping someone (other than driving traffic away) from just creating a site and loading it up with like 40 different ad affiliate networks? From what I understand, a few networks don't like it if you're running ads from other networks on your site, but other than that, is it just a...

I'm going to move my 'low' end laptop to a Linux distro and wanted to know by experienced users which would be the best option. It's a Inspiron 500m with a 1.3 ghz Pentium M (single core, 32 bit etc) and 1gb ram. I have used Linux before, but it was with Slackware back in the late 90s. During...

Confirmed for Tuesday August 21, 2012. Check out this blue post for the massive patch notes: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6368188147 It won't fix everything but it will definately make it alot better than before. Some highlights: New and improved Legendaries that are actually...

I'm tired of seeing prebuilt computers with loads of trials and various other crapware preinstalled. In the day and age of broadband, a system should be barebones (fresh windows install equivalent) and the user should decide what they want to install on their new system. If the user wanted to...

First, we admit competition is good. It forces a company to change to benefit the consumer if it wants their money, or else that money goes to a competitor. Steam is a bit like Facebook. It currently has a huge monopoly. It's the single source for most people's gaming needs, it has a huge...

How is the playerbase for this on the PC? Also, it's accurate to say that Xbox Live gamers and PC gamers don't get to vs each other correct? I don't want to buy it and only have 5 people to play against.

We're going to be able to sell entire characters on Diablo 3. Cue Judas Priest - Breaking The Law.

Any of you play this classic lately? Just had a game that lasted a few hours, the AI is a pain in the ass, especially when there's more than one and it's a large map (it was actually "medium" sized with underground, but with multiple AI it feels large). You move from point A to point B, it...

No I'm not talking about the patch server, the login server is as well now. For some reason you have to spam click the Login button, after a few attempts of getting the maintenance dialogue you can log in. I successfully got the 2 agreement windows and created my id.

I really don't like the excuse of Punkbuster services always running to enable non-administrators to be able to play games. I suspect there are many single user systems. I initially boycotted any game that required the 2 services PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB to be always running. But I have since...

Any of you play it online? How's the community? Still alot of people playing it? Was thinking about picking it up.

I'm thinking about buying an Xbox controller, because I heard good things about them from emulator perspectives. What is your alls experience with it?

Soon it's go time. Come one come all. They say TPPK and duping is fixed, but we all know the routine. Just a reminder to you all to check it out tomorrow.

Some nice new additions. I've quoted some that are likely of interest to most people, and bolded the latest patch note additions.

I'm trying to format and reinstall a fucked Windows installation on an older laptop without a CDROM or Floppy drive. Essentially the computer got infested with spyware from a worm that was spreading via removable media. I can boot up and use the infected system, it's not entirely screwed and...

Just incase some of you haven't been keeping track. Probably the best one so far in my opinion. Zerg vs Protoss http://www.starcraft2.com/features/battlereports/3.xml

I was roaming around Morrowind and I came across the tomb containing Mastrius. At first I thought he was hostile and didn't see me, so I slowly shut the door and buffed myself out with a bunch of potions and racial (Berserk, since i'm an Orc), raised my Cloudcleaver and ran in guns blazing...

To start, this has nothing to do with my configuration. It's only specific with this game and a flaw in the game itself. I'm positive atleast some of you have experienced it. It only happens outside. I've been PC gaming heavily for 15 years, and it's not like any other common framerate...

The developers are watching you. You should really put some effort into playing the games you're reviewing if you want your site to remain respectable. http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=185733
